2004 Delectus Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

The aromas are a powerful combination of blackberries, graphite, currant and a hint of alcohol (this wine clocks in at 16.8%). Across the palate the wine is fruit forward with the currant leading the parade and a oaky note as well. The tannins are very present on the medium length finish now. Needs some additional bottle time for the tannins to smooth out but another solid effort.
